Friends


  • Qinglin(Jessica) Feng is a master student@CMU, she is my sweetheart. I always feel lucky to have met such a dolce, considerate, and lovely gf.
  • Jinqi Luo is a Ph.D. student@UPenn, he's super helpful and nice!! We usually go to gym together.
  • Bingchen Zhao is a Ph.D. student@Edinburgh. We used to play board games a lot :).
  • Hanzhe Hu is a Ph.D. student@CMU, with numerous top publications. It is surprising that he has very broad interest in many things.
  • Tianyuan Zhang is a Ph.D. student@MIT, he has read so many papers that he never fails to recommend me papers no matter what I'm discussing with him. (He is also a wild rift lover, me too)
  • Jiashun Wang is a Ph.D. student@CMU. Different from me, he doesn't like going to gym :)
  • Shaozuo Yu is a Ph.D. student@CUHK. He was my advisor in Texas Hold'em :)
  • Haoyu Xiong is an MSR student@CMU. He is the first CMU friend that I met in person!
  • Junjie Ye is a Ph.D. student@USC, I usually call him "Jie Ge".
  • Ziyue Qiu is a Ph.D. student@CMU. She studies system, so is much smarter than a nerd like me :)
  • Shibo Zhao is a Ph.D. student@CMU, my senior bro at the airlab. We are also roommates :).
  • Xinyu Wang is an MSR student@CMU. She can cook many delicous dishes and is a gym lover like me :)
